Where do you get your fertile eggs?

[pinelli-farm]

I would like to get some fertile eggs of some different breads of chickens than what I have. Where do you get them?

 

[Cattitude]

There are auctions here, on BYC. I also get eggs from friends and from eBay (sellers on eBay tend to pump up their stock more than it really is).

i baught some eggs off ebay and the ones that were actually fertile died because my chicken broke out of her broody coop and couldnt find her way abck in

There are lots of people on byc that sell hatching eggs. What breeds are you looking for? Deb

Back when I din't know better LOL, I was getting Foo-Foo birds for my young DD to mess with, I just called some trusted chicken friends and picked them up.

I have 2 growing now that are from our bantam frizzle roo and our barred rock hen. The other two both died (one early and one 4 days before hatch), so I'm not sure if maybe it's a bad combo? The rest of mine I've ordered off of ebay...the best growers are ones I let settle for 24 hours after they arrived. One batch grew embryos but they all dies (bantam black tailed white japanese ones).

I too ordered silkie eggs from Mypetchicken and have yet to recieve them! After I called and they told me they should ship out in less than 24 hours, well its been more than 24 hours but I have recieved no email saying so.....

So my opinion order them from someone on here! I sure will next time...

I posted an add on craigslist and got 7 from a lady who lived near my husbands work.. Paid $5 for 7 eggs!! (6 of the 7 have hatched so far)

From very reputable breeders I trust and know their culling practices so I lower the risk of introducing disease into my flock through hatching eggs from disease carrying parents.
